Taiwanese College Students` Internet Use and Social Capital

Abstract

Abstract: This study explores Taiwanese college students` Internet use and social capital. It is assumed that Chinese culture tends to encourage individuals to participate in group formation and that there is a reliance on group life to fulfill societal expectations. It is therefore argued that Chinese people living in Taiwan will demonstrate a differing picture of social capital when compared to those of equivalent background in the West. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript
